Catholic Bible Stories for Children: 1st Communion Edition

Along with Bible Stories it covers tidbits of Catholic tradition and prayers. Church history is covered extensively in Ann Ball's "Catholic Encyclopedia for Children." However, the shared bible stories are verbatim in each book. A cute little fish named, Ichthus, appears throughout with little notes and sayings like "share you heart with Jesus" next to the parable of the seeds, for example.

This version of Catholic Bible Stories has been specially created for First Communicants. The introductory remarks and a special "First Communion" presentation page make this a great gift for any boy or girl celebrating the sacrament. The most popular Old and New Testament stories have been included and are written in a lively and accessible style for young readers. All of the stories contain a bible citation in the event families would like to read the story in another bible version. A highlight of this book is the artwork, with bright and wonderful illustrations by Kevin Davidson. The sturdy, high quality hardcover of this book ensures that the book will stand up to lots of great times spent reading these bible stories.
